Because of the changes in the fundamental operation of the system, many features have been redesigned. The following lmgrd command-line options are not supported by lmadmin.

Command-line options to lmgrd that are not supported by lmadmin.

lmgrd option

lmadmin notes

–2 –p

The replacement option is -adminOnly yes, which is the default for lmadmin.

–z

The replacement option is -foreground.

–c license_file_list

License files are now managed using either the license server management interface or the new -import option.

–v

Version information is now displayed in the license server management interface. The equivalent is -version option.

–l [+]debug_log_path

The -logDir option defines the path to the debug log file (lmadmin.log) written by the lmadmin license server manager. The default location is <lmadmin_install_dir>/logs.

The default location for the vendor daemon debug log files is <lmadmin_install_dir>/logs/<vendor>.log. The path to vendor daemon debug logs can be changed via either the lmadmin license management interface or the options file.

Note:On Windows platforms, it is best practice to set the location of debug_log_path to a sub-folder of ProgramData. This location has user-write permissions by default, which are needed when the license server runs as a service with LocalService permission.

–local

The replacement is to use the following argument settings:

-allowStopServer Yes -allowRemoteStopServer No

–x lmdown

The replacement option is -allowStopServer. Note that the logical direction of this option has been reversed.

–x lmremove

The replacement option is -allowLicenseReclaim. Note that the logical direction of this option has been reversed.
